Can I just ask why do you want a card that has nearly the same performance as the 770? Especially when it is on ebay and has been used for "light mining"?

So, a worn GPU that is in some cases less powerful? No, not worth it.

Performance is so identical it'd be a waste of time. If you want to upgrade and waste away money you might as well sell the 770 and buy a 780.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Don't get it. I had a 280x before I traded it for my 770 and there is a huge difference. Its a waste of money considering what you already have unless you wan't it for shits and giggles.
